According to the complaint, the alleged attack happened Dec. 6 in Inver Grove Heights. The assistant coach told police that Tonda's son was fighting with two other players before hitting one with his hockey stick.

The St. Paul Pioneer Press reports the coach told Tonda's son his behavior was "unacceptable'' and directed him to do a drill. Instead, the boy went into the locker room.

The complaint says Tonda began screaming at the assistant coach and put him in a chokehold. The charges say Tonda threatened to kill the coach as he left.
